5．I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on"two-hour business plans"．I separated them into six groups and gave them an example：a restaurant chain．The more original their idea，the better，I said．Finally，five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains．The sixth proposed a catering（餐饮） service．Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult，I expressed my disappointment．
My students were middle managers，financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies．They were not without talent or opinions，but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness．The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years'teaching at the school．Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review．Case study debates were written up and just memorized．Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy，better than inventing and creating．
In China，every product you can imagine has been made and sold．But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand．
With this problem in mind，partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established．And then there's the"thousand-talent scheme"：this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money．But there are worries about China's research environment．It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness，and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this．
At last，for China，becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities．Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively．It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds．It's not that simple．
68．Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation？D
A．Papers were often downloaded from the Internet．
B．Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy．
C．Case study debates were written up as well as recited．
D．Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem．
69．The underlined word"scheme"in the forth paragraph meansC．
A．timetable            B．theme                C．project               D．policy
70．We can infer from the passage thatB．
A．China can make and sell any product all over the world
B．high pay may not solve the problem of China's research environment
C．cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand
D．the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination
71．Which is the best title of the passage？A
A．Look for a New Way of Learning

C．How to Become a Creator                
D．Establish a Technical Environment．

4．Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China's higher education reform？It's too early to answer．But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education．Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students，so-called child prodigies（奇才），to begin classes on March l，2011．On graduating in 2015，these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities．
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology，but if the government will not approve the school，the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions．Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas．
The difficulties，however，have not frightened students and their parents away．On Dec.18，2010 more than 1，000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews．
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation．Not a penny comes from the government．So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run．
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020．The goal is to make China's higher education internationally competitive．To accomplish this goal，the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out．The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise．
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage．Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill．
60．Over 1，000 students and parents visited the school becauseA．
A．they believe that the school will have a bright future
B．they believe the government is sure to approve the school
C．the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully

61．The trouble the students in the school may have is thatC
A．the government will have no voice in the school
B．they won't receive any diploma when graduating from the school
C．other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school
D．they will not learn how to be competitive
62．What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology？D
A．It is another kind of diploma mill．
B．It's impossible for the school to be competitive．
C．It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education．
D．Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform．
63．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．University of New Style
B．China's Education Reform．
C．Modeling Hong Kong University
D．Authorized or Not？

3．On Christmas Eve-the night before Christmas Day-children all over Britain put a stocking（长袜） at the end of their beds before they go to sleep．Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night．
     Father Christmas is very kind and warm-hearted．He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace．He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents．
     Of course，Father Christmas isn't real．In Jim and Kate's house，"Father Christmas"is really Mr．Green．Mr．Green doesn't climb down the chimney．He waits until the children are asleep．Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents．When they were very young，Mr．Green sometimes wore（穿） a red coat．But he doesn't do that now．The children are no longer young，and they know who"Father Christmas"really is．But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds．
